Very sharp pain right above my left hip in the stomach area. I can't move in my chair right now. HELP!!!?

Question

What could it be? It just started few minutes ago as I was watching a show on the computer.

The pain just grabbed me as I tried to inhale a deep breath. Now I'm scared to move because it's too painful to bear through such pain. It's like a bunch of needles stabbing in that area when I try to move.

I'm scared to call 911. What could it be?

Answer 1

If the pain is that bad you will need to be seen by a Doctor. There are numerous things it could be from a pinched sciatic nerve to a twisted bowel to renal colic just as a start. Never ignore the onset of sudden unexplained pain.

Answer 2

Wow. I get that too a lot. I just like gently press on the area and breathe and it usually goes away. When I experience this, I feel like you do. I've had it many times and I'm still alright, so I guess that we're ok.

Answer 3

hopefully its subsided by now...

but in my experience abdominal pain in the lower left quadrant is generally constipation and or gas...

for 2 seconds before you call 911, think when did you last poo? when did you last f**t? have you eaten any gassy foods? (beans, cheese, anything that might irriate your gut). also if you are dehydrated you feaces can "dry up" a bit and hurt your bowels as they go through

because unless you are lady you pretty much only have bowels in that area..

good luck with it

Answer 4

PLEASE CALL 911!  It could be anything.....or nothing....nevertheless better to be safe than sorry.  It happened to me four years ago. I will not disclose what the diagnosis was; don't want to put fear in you. Just call!
